Blue Tribal Long and Narrow Antique Mid 19th Century Caucasian Shirvan Rug

Antique Caucasian Shirvan Geometric Blue 1850s Rug, Circa Date: 1850s. This exceptional mid-19th century weaving originates from the Caucasian tow of Shirvan, representing the finest traditions of nomadic and semi-nomadic textile art. Its age and condition place it firmly among the most desirable antique rugs available today, offering a tangible connection to the region's rich weaving history. The field is dominated by a saturated indigo blue, providing a dramatic and sophisticated contrast to the dense, repeating geometric motifs. These stylized floral and star elements, rendered in vibrant madder red, saffron, and pale sky blue, exemplify the sophisticated use of natural dyes prevalent during this era. The deep tonality of the field makes this a striking and versatile example of blue color rugs.
